http://www.vice.com/read/toronto-cops-raid-pot-dispensaries-in-city-wide-crackdown
"Over 1,000 pounds of raw cannabis seized from 80+ dispensaries in Toronto. $2,200,000 value. Extracts and edibles on top of that. Terrible losses to the community. And then there are the costs to the hundreds held in custody in bail and legal fees. And there will be more arrests in the days ahead."
"Toronto police began a massive citywide raid on medical marijuana dispensaries in Canada on Thursday. Police tweeted that they'd issued search warrants targeting storefront cannabis dispensaries under Project Claudia. Sources have told VICE that 78 dispensaries were being raided, although that has yet to be confirmed."
---
In this day and age, if you're still against cannabis, you're literally one of the dumbest people on the planet. They're taking away what helps people and making them suffer and stealing from people as well. I hope this causes more people to start planting marijuana seeds everywhere publicly. Anywhere that there is soil, plant marijuana seeds. Let's make these stupid fuckers work until they give up.

This has nothing to do with drugs and everything to do with policing for profit! The US is no different, laws allow the business to open and develope and then they see what the owners are worth and go after them for the loot and the bonus is the homes/property/money/assets of the business owners/investors because they will say it was obtained through criminal acts(asset forfiture)... They should use this policy on politicians/bankers, there would be no room in prisons for anyone after that! This is how the Mafia operated when they were successful, they help you get started (allowing licenses)then extort you (tax severely)then threaten you and your livelyhood (raids/arrests)then offer you protection for a fee (more licensing/taxes) wow this is familiar but not at all about protecting society from being "on the pot" REFFER MADNESS It is about funding the police state enterprise we have grown to

Seems like. Part of the issue is the government's hesitance to decriminalize while working on legislation. Their stance has been that, until legislation is released, the law stands as it is.
Legislation to be released in 2017, in the meanwhile more of this shit show most likely.

I get 100 percent of my weed/hash/shatter/oil from dispensary now. Getting weed is easy but your local dealer doesn't have 15 kinds of weed and 8 kinds of shatter and menu of edibles. Sick of the black market, no choices, waiting hours to make deal, supporting organized crime because they were more reliable than mom and pop dealers. Also Toronto has 90 dispensaries and Calgary has like 2. Lots of cities have zero, the law is being unevenly enforced across the country. I dont understand why it cant just be decrim now and work out the supply details later. Thousands of Canadians are going to get criminal records this summer. If this is for harm reduction, that's the biggest harm by far. Toronto is the only place i had a weapon pulled on me trying to buy weed off street. But after these busts there will be people with no other way to get it. It sucks when you get used to buying weed from one these places and they get shut down and you lost contact with your old connections. Had that happen too, bought weed from a weed "church" for a year and a half until it got raided and shut down. Then I didn't have anyone i could call. My friends were all getting it from me so they were no help. Had to make all new connections. Legal weed can not come soon enough

Oh absolutely. The progress they are making in putting these DNA mutating drug dealing scum off the street makes me sleep so much better. I am so glad the liquor store owners don't have to deal with this type of behavior, they are good hard working citizens with beautiful families that are so great for the community. I'm going to continue getting drunk as fuck now, later guys.

Oh heavens no! Johnny Law has to make an example out of lawless devil worshipping hopheads for the profit of mammy government! That's the catch with legalized pot. Everyone says "tax the shit out of it" and "we'll play ball to the letter" so the cops see that as justification to bust people's asses wide open over even the most inane of fineworthy infractions simply because cannabis is involved.

The dispensaries are currently illegal. I am all for the legalization of pot but the people operating these are knowingly breaking the law.
The only way to get medical cannabis in Canada is from a select amount of licensed producers.
I've even gotten some weed from this dispensaries recently, but it didn't surprise me when they started to get raided.

CBC News ran an interesting interview relating to this whole happening and current state of cannabis regulation in Canada
The video description links to a related article that does not necessarily summarize the video itself but is worth a look
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/toronto-pot-shop-raid-marijuana-dispensary-didn-t-know-illegal-1.3605386
dispensary owner from BC moved to Toronto to open a branch and got busted because she didn't know it was illegal.

WTF? What excuse did the pigs use to raid all these establishments?
Are dispensaries illegal in toronto? Why were they even allowed to open their in the first place, then?
This makes me very angry. Think about all the medical patients who now have to look elsewhere for their medicine. People need to start standing up against their oppressive governments and oppressive police forces, and in a big way.

Those police are currently in denial of a certain truth.
Those ones just might see hellfire. With a shortened lifespan.
The world will soon be a bloodbath.

No how can a one person operation that grows their own shit and sells it themselves be organized crime? By definition one person cannot be organized crime, it has to be a group. HA Mafia, black gangs, etc are all organized crime. One guy growing weed and selling it with no affiliations to anyone else is not organized crime. Selling weed makes you a criminal it doesn't make you organized crime. You think some old hippie grower is the same as the hell's angels? Really? Here is a good article on the why this happened https://nowtoronto.com/news/city-hall/who-s-blowing-pot-smoke-in-john-tory-s-ear/
